May is Renew/Cancel season and ratings are not always the most important factor. Budget plays a part as well. Tim Allen is likley not cheap. His increasing sallary plus the others on the show likely were choking the shows budget and was just no longer viable. My brother has worked at CBS since 1990 and seen many shows get the axe despite ratings were good sometimes just due to actors getting expensive. On Fox Star Trek the Next Generation had 1 more season under contract but the actors cost too much for the shows budget. Oh and not to mention Tim Allen is well known asshole and really hard to work with. Dick actors can lead to cancellation as well. Alf was cancelled after 4 seasons because one of the cast was such a ass no one wanted to work on the show anymore. |
I read an article on this that didn't have Tim Allens current salary. No idea what that is. But they said last they knew it was $350k an episode or something.
BTW he brought in like 1.25 million an episode on Home Improvement at some point.
They then mentioned that like 4-5 stars on modern family ALL make more per episode than $350k.
Don't forget that Big Bang Theory Stars make like near a million a piece last I heard. Like 4-5 of them.
And as someone mentioned, the viewership of LMS is nearly identical to Modern Fmaily and look at the timeslots. LMS is on a freaking friday, the least watched showings of tv shows.
There are a hundred articles about this. Practically all of them say it appears to be 100% politically motivated cause it makes zero sense otherwise.
